from Agriculture Commissioner
Jim Hightower comes as a comic
insult of Vice President George
Bush: "If ignorance ever goes to
$40 a barrel, I want the drilling

general, executive assistant to
Gov. Preston Smith, secretary of
state. He was elected comptroller
in 1974.
Mauro Hires Top Lawyer
State Land Commissioner Garry
Mauro last week hired a nationally
known defense attorney after the
FBI subpoenaed agency records as
part of an investigation of dealings
between Mauro's office and land
developers.
Noted San Antonio attorney
Gerald Goldstein said Mauro
has "nothing to hide" and he
is convinced political enemies
are using federal investigators to
smear him.
Goldstein criticized the FBI for
not asking for the records of con-
tributions to Mauro’s campaigns
sooner. Agents have said the inves-
tigation began several months ago.
“Surely they would have com-
pared those before now," Gold-
stein said.
Prisons, Jails Full
With state and county jails at
capacity, the state parole board
voted to allow bail for parolees
charged with simple burglary.
The action led some anti-crime
groups to charge that criminal
justice in Texas is now determined
solely by available space in jails.
State officials said some 5,000
convicts await transfer to state
prison from county jails.

Bullock Leading Poll
Meanwhile, Comptroller Bob
Bullock received his own “gift
from Shipley.” A recent poll
by George Shipley, owner of
an Austin public opinion and
research firm, shows Bullock
with a sizeable lead against any
potential opponent in the race for
lieutenant governor.
In a match-up with two state
senators talking about running,
the poll shows Bullock beating
Hugh Parmer of Fort Worth by 55
percent to 11 percent and Chet
Edwards of Duncanville by 57
percent to 13 percent.
Even Republican primary vot-
ers favored Bullock over for-

Supreme Court Justice Jim Wal-
lace will give then another vacancy
to fill by appointment when he re-
signs at summer’s end.
Wallace, a Democrat, said he
was quitting for financial reasons,
explaining that he, like many
other Texans, had real estate and
other investments which need his
attention.
Although his term runs through
1982, by resigning creates a
vacancy that will be filled in
general election on Nov. 8.
Gov. Bill Clements can now
appoint his third judge to the
high court, someone presumably
to be on the November ballot with
the slight edge of one month’s
incumbency.
In all voters will be choosing
six justices this fall due to
resignations of Chief Justice John
Hill and Robert Campbell and

‘ribune, P.O. Drawer 440, GyandvIew, Texas 76050.
Last week I alluded to using what is at hand to
solve problems that have no apparent solution. This
column is in the same vein. The Governor has a prob-
lem that on the surface has only expensive solutions.
The increasing crime rate in our larger cities has
so overcrowded the penal system that there is no
longer room to incarcerate those who have been con-
victed. New prisons are being planned but they will
be overflowing almost as fast as they are completed.
I propose a solution using natural resources that we
have in abundance.
It would be my suggetion that we build a large
prison in the middle or one of our large swamps m
East Texas. The swamp could easily be populated
with scores of full grown alligators. The alligators
could act as as outer perimeter guards which would
discourage, if not completely elflminate escape at-
tempts. Because these guards would be so effective,
the inside prison guards could be held to a minimum.
Costs could be cut because the land should be cheap
and the alligators would work cheap. All they would
require is that an occasional prisoner attempt to
escape. There are probably those who would argue
that such an approach is unconstitutional. Not at
all. The punishment would be the same as that present-
ly being meted out. What is unusual is the prison
security and that is not a constitutional issue. The
ACLU would probably see it differently.
Alligators have been protected for a number of
years so there is no shortage. I do see a potential
problem. These reptiles are very ingenious so they
might not want to wait for the once in awhile escapee.
They just might invade the prison compound when
meal time rolled around.
Over the years there could be other economic bene-
fits. The alligator could be harvested and their hides
sold for a profit. Vigilence should prevent some union
from organizing them, which could increase the cost.
It looks like a tax payer's dream come true to me.
